The Reliability of the Bible: Part IV

In this series, we’re discussing the reliability of the Bible, using the MAPS acronym from Hank Hanegraaff. Today, we are talking about P for Prophecy.

One of the most remarkable attributes about the Bible is the predictions that were made hundreds of years before they came true. Before Jesus’ birth, prophets made 55 predictions about Jesus, including that our Savior would be born to a virgin in Bethlehem and that Jesus would be crucified.

No other book can make such claims.

In Deuteronomy 18:19, God said, “I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.”

God’s Word has proven itself to be reliable. You can trust its wisdom to lead your daily work life as well.
